Well, for my birthday celebration, I tooled up Pickle Gulch to check it out. The trail is in good condition, and there's only a teeny bit of snow left, all the way up on top. I stopped to winch a deadfall off the trail (it's been getting more of a hazard over the last year or so, and everybody had to drive UNDER it, so I figured it was time to pull it out, before it fell on somebody). If you're up for a nice scenic drive with a bit of challenge, it's looking good!
